Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller. This is a podcast for your personal evolution. In this episode,

authentically connect with others by first connecting with yourself and your motives.

If I ask you why we communicate with others, what would your reply be? I think my mind initially

went to, well, sharing information. But as you're soon going to hear, my guest cites that only 15 to 18%

of our daily communications are about mere information. What's the primary reason we communicate then?

Well, we communicate to, as he says, connect with others. So my interest then is considering how much of my communication actually results and is even

focused on true connection.

I have a world expert with us today, Charles Duhigg.

Charles is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and the author of The Power of Habit,

which spent over three

years on the bestseller list, sold three million copies or more. It is my favorite book on

Habits. That's how I first got introduced to Charles. So when they came to me with his next book,

I was all in. And that was February of 2024. I had him here on the show for the first time to talk about his then new book,

Super Communicators, how to unlock the secret language of connection.

That book has already sold a million copies, and I brought him back on to talk further

about my own evolution and connecting even since then, and to celebrate the release of the paperback

version of Super Communicators, and it's been published in I don't know how many different languages

already.

Charles, you may know, also writes for the New Yorker magazine.

He previously wrote for the New York Times.

He's a graduate of Yale University at Harvard Business School.

You can find him at Charles Duhigg, D-U-H-I-G-G-G-com.
